very disingenuous company
I did pathrise pro for about 6 months. It didn’t result in a job and after my career councilor was replaced 3 times, I requested to be let out of my contract. It was nice talking with people who are in the industry, but their main contribution was having me lie on my resume. But not the standard resume truth stretching, they were telling me to change job titles like “supply chain analyst” to “product manager” or “product marketing analyst” pretty disingenuous if you ask me. This may have worked a couple years ago when tech was booming, but now is a different story. Be warned, they are selling a phantasy. EDIT: Response to Pathrise’s rebuttal 1) lying on resume: I had 3 career councilors. Absolutely all of them advocated for and basically made me lie on my resume. This came in the form of changing job titles to roles I didn’t have, and also in the form of a key word dump in the objective section of my resume. I typically don’t include an objective section but was urged to include one as they needed to stuff as many key words (skills I don’t have, softwares I’ve never used) in there to fool an ATS system. Lying on the resume was the first step of the program as you are not able to continue until your resume has been cleared with the higher ups. I’m not lying and to suggest I am in pathrise’s response is yet another example of this company’s flawed morals. 2) “Our program is built around using your existing experience + our resources and network” you actually do not have access to anyone’s professional network. I asked every single councilor and “mentor” for a referral, even a recommendation on LinkedIn, but was told no every time. 3) As soon as I wrote my review on trustpilot, I was contacted by the founder of pathrise, Kevin Wu, via email. They are in damage control mode. The whole program relies on their charade not being made public and they are trying to sweet talk me into taking this review down. Very disingenuous company
